@mercenaruss Got two firmware/hardware feature requests for ZigStar if such are OK to post here(?):

First, pls consider adding Zeroconf support to ZigStar LAN Gateway for ZHA network discovery, see:

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/zha-automatic-discovery-of-zigbee-coordinator-bridges-gateways-ethernet-wifi-network-devices-that-support-zeroconf-or-ssdp/293300

Secondly, please consider using other USB-to-UART chip with EEPROM on ZigStar USB adapter so can add unique PID (Product ID) or other USB identification strings for automatic USB discovery, see:

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/unique-friendly-name-description-for-automatic-zigbee-usb-adapter-discovery-in-home-assistant-zha-using-dongle-vendor-product-ids/337077

Just to be clear; the reaspon for both of those two requests is so can use automatic discovery in ZHA, which is something that has already been added for a few Zigbee gateways and Zigbee USB dongles:

PS: The most commonly available USB-to-UART chips are CP2102N by Silabs and FT231 by FTDI.
